Here is something that we all get to do from time to time. Now for myself, I thought I had finished this duty when my youngest brother tagged out for the first time last year. Looks as tho there are few more friends this year that want to get into our great sport.
I've had the privilage of taking out 3 younger brothers to take their first WT deer, starting in 99 and finishing last year. I wouldn't trade those hunting trips with my family for anything.
This year I've got a father-in-law, sister-in-law, wife and another friend that all want to go this year for the first time :shock: :shock: 4 new hunters :shock: :shock: I'm getting the feeling that this year could be interesting.
I won't be taking them out all togather, that would be to dangerous. However, if I can get them out to the range and somewhat profecient at shooting paper it shouldn't be too difficult. I really should start scouting soon becasue it looks like most of the our huge Alberta hunting season(Nov. 1-Nov. 30) is booked full. Should be alot of fun, and hopefully I can train them properly.
What do you guys think the most important thing to teach new hunters is besides the obvious firearms safety and proper hunting ethics????
